the vote and in florida, it was 50-49. 91%. did they have a case for asking for recounts or should he have done what he did, romney conceded? >> i heard the ohio call was somewhat controversial on another network. >> we did it at 11:18 p.m. eastern. >> look, in 2000 you learned that you should not concede too fast when al gore, you know, was convinced not to concede. and, in this karx i think you learn that you should not contest too fast because in the end, these states did move. you know, the scales were very close at that point, but particularly in ohio and florida. if you looked at the remaining vote, it was democratic leaning and, certainly, it was a better decision not to say i was going to contest before all the votes in. they were still counting, as john berman said, recounting until 2016, but the other ones were pretty solid. >> we looked at that counties that had not yet reported and they were pretty democratic. and that's why we had our projection. >> you can read your article in "national journal" that comes out tom
